“Or how could it come into being ? If it came into being, it is not; nor is it if it is going to be in the future.”

Give me the power to produce fever and I’ll cure all disease.

It is indifferent to me where I am to begin, for there shall I return again.

To be and to have meaning are the same.

It is all one to me where I begin; for I shall come back again there.

Tis necessary for thee to learn all things, both the abiding essence of persuasive truth, and men’s opinions in which rests no true belief.

Let reason alone decide.

The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.

Meet it is that thou shouldst learn all things, as well the unshaken heart of persuasive truth, as the opinions of mortals in which is no true belief at all.

Now that all things have been named light and night, and the names which belong to the power of each have been assigned to these things and to those, everything is full at once of light and dark night, both equal, since neither has ought to do with the other.

Being alone is and nothing is altogether not.

We can speak and think only of what exists. And what exists is uncreated and imperishable for it is whole and unchanging and complete. It was not or nor shall be different since it is now, all at once, one and continuous.

Thou canst not recognize not-being (for this is impossible), nor couldst thou speak of it, for thought and being are same.

Mortals have made up their minds to name two forms, one of which they should not name, and that is where they go astray from the truth.

It is the same thing that can be thought and for the sake of which thought exists.

Wherefore all these things are but the names which mortals have given, believing them to be true.

Just relax and trust the process.

I just want to be like a good example to somebody in the future.

The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it.

There are thousands of years in the past, and there is an unknown amount of time in the future. There are all kinds of opportunities, and there are all kinds of dangers.

Free yourself from the illusion of good and bad days. Labeling time makes us nostalgic of the past and demanding of the future. There is only here and now. Let it be.

Physicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next?

There can’t be a crisis next week, my schedule is already full.

From the experience of the past we derive instructive lessons for the future.
